Teachers Know Best: Teachers’ Views on Professional Development

I’m honored to announce the official launch of our K-12 Progress in Action campaign. In the coming months, we’ll highlight and amplify the progress our partners and grantees are making to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

Here’s what we know: Implementing a comprehensive, standards-aligned curriculum is a complex undertaking, even in a typical, in-person classroom. There are new pedagogical approaches to consider, texts and topics to unpack, instructional shifts to practice, academic routines to introduce, and the list goes on.

Teacher Advisory Council (TAC) is a volunteer body made up of educators from around the country who meet in-person with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s education team in Seattle twice a year.
